CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 28, 2012 —
Camstar Systems, Inc. announced today the release of the Camstar
Enterprise Platform™ 5.1, which includes its flagship applications for
Manufacturing Execution, Quality Management and Operational
Intelligence. The revolutionary new capabilities deliver a clean and
efficient user experience, ease of configuration unseen in the industry,
new performance and process dashboards, and access from any mobile
device.

Camstar 5.1 introduces the world’s only fully web-based configuration
for manufacturing execution systems (MES). “With no special skills or
additional software, users can define the behavior and navigation of
screens – and deploy them on any device – in just minutes,” said Rami
Lokas, Director of Research for Camstar. “Camstar 5.1 is a quantum leap
in our product lifecycle. The new Camstar Portal StudioTM
makes our MES the easiest to deploy and use in the industry.”

Configurable, simple forms guide manufacturing users thorough
instructions, data collection and events, and provide instant feedback
and color-coded performance metrics. Visual cues and icons simplify
understanding of conditions and required actions. “Operators are more
efficient and so they can focus on making quality products,” said Silvio
Saouaf, Product Director for the Camstar Enterprise Platform.

New dashboards designed specifically for engineering, production,
management and operators monitor global and local process health, and
keep the pulse on production and quality. “The clear visual
representations help people quickly see issues, and instant drill-down
helps them make informed decisions that impact manufacturing and quality
performance,” said Stephanie Iannone, Senior Application Designer for
Camstar.

“Industry leaders tell us that in this global market, manufacturing has
become a bottleneck that impedes their ability to deliver product,
innovate quickly, to increase market share and ultimately drive
revenue,” said Scott Toney, President and CEO for Camstar. “Our focus
and commitment is to bring rapid value to our customers so they can deal
with these challenges. This was the underpinning for the substantial
investment we made in our 5.1 release.”
